Extra batteries / external charger?

[bustinstugots24]

Here are some more pics of the Korean LG G3 battery + charger bought from eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/181468037325.

The phone won't fit if I put the Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case on though.

Looks good I ordered my official oem battery last night from one seller and a black version of the charger you had from another. Yours was $57 with shipping. Mine came out to $62 total but I figured it was worth the extra $5 to have it on black. I was looking at getting it from your seller too. How is it so far? How fast did it ship and deliver? Mine shipped about 6 hours after I purchased it. Hopefully I get it quickly.

I got mine delivered from Korea to Norway in about 6 days I think, which is quite good.
The charger works fine with both original (left battery) and the one which came with.
Have been using the new battery now and so far so good.

I think it is because you mentioned the oem battery. Where companies like Anker will sell 2 high quality batteries and a wall charger for less than one oem battery. Making it a way way better value. So yes, in the world of 3rd party batteries, you get what you pay for, but not compared to the oem because there are way better deals out there.

I ordered both of these and hope they work well. The stand seems like a great deal and the battery, for 8 bucks, is worth the risk.

How is the charger, I haven't ordered it yet and I was wondering if you like it and how well does it work with a case on the phone?

You can not get higher quality than oem. Especially with batteries

Then to say you get what you pay for, you are implying that oems are 3 times better than the other quality battery suppliers. And I used Anker as an example because they are as good if not better than oem's.

I will say, the dock sucks after the first usage. I left it on it over night and it got fifteen percent life. It worked great the first night. But it wasn't all bad. I got a charger out of it lol. The cable works fine when plugged directly into the phone.

There are a few reputable companies out there that are a little cheaper than OEM. However, I don't believe any of the reputable companies have released a G3 battery yet. Most of the batteries you see for $6.99, $8.99 and so on are garbage. They will not have the extra 500 mah they say, and still fit with the same battery door. These batteries normally don't even have the capacity of OEM batteries even though they claim more. They also will not last as many charges before you notice major degradation. They also may not have a protection circuit, and if they do its most likely not worth a [email protected] It is possible to get a OEM battery for cheap with a different sticker, but not likely.

At the moment, I'm just waiting patiently until more options become available.

I'd like to find an external charger and a quality 3000mAh in the $25 range. I really don't want to waste $10-$20 on an ebay chinese battery that doesn't work (or will degrade much faster than an OEM battery).

Frustrating that there isn't much out there yet. Hopefully soon.

 

[jdizzle316]

any ideas if this is legit LG?

I'm not sure either, but I do know that not all things sold on amazon are real (most of you may already know, but I learned that not too long ago and wanted you guys to know just in case).

source: knew a guy who sold imposter stuff on there. he didn't last long, good thing too at that

That is odd. no idea why they overnighted it to me from korea either lol

 

[AnaMayShun]

Is the $50 set from Korea still the best deal we get for an OEM battery and charger?

 

[jimbodude]

I called LG and have the battery (no charger) on order but it's been on backordered for 2 weeks still. They don't have an ETA for it either. It cost about $23 shipped for battery only. I asked them to look up the spare charger but they couldn't find the part for it.

Still no OEM battery for me.

 

[AnaMayShun]

My Caseology batteries shipped today. But it has an estimated arrival date of Sept. 4th - 8th. With no tracking #.

 

[Gigawatt!!]

for anyone who bought an OEM spare battery charger from Korea... was wondering if it has an LED that indicates when the battery is charged. thanks!

Is it the battery charger/dock? White or black? If so, it has a small led that will let you know when the battery is charged.

I got one of those cheaper batteries off eBay... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=121389184461&alt=web
And as I suspected it's junk. Fully charged it, turned my phone off, when I powered it up the Battery was at 90% lol then I used my phone for about 15 minutes just browsing and it went down to 80%. I realize OEM batteries are preferred but I was willing to take the risk since it was cheap.

What OEM batteries have you guys found to be good?
